Join us during the World Health Assembly week on May 23, 2023.
On the occasion of the 76th World Health Assembly, together with Movement Health 2030 and City Cancer Challenge, Siemens Healthineers is hosting an event on equity in women’s health, reflecting on the progress in breast and cervical cancer.
Breast and cervical cancer continue to be the leading causes of death among women in low- and middle-income countries. Many stakeholders have stepped up in the past few years to improve cancer diagnostics and care, ultimately extending life. We are inviting like-minded leaders, who will share their insights in responding to women’s cancers in low resource settings.
